J. Mica: Address to World Summit 2020
- Tuesday, February 4, 2020
“Our citizens cannot prosper if they live in turmoil brought about by radical acts of violence or trafficking of illegal narcotics. Only by nations joining together can we succeed in resolving the major obstacles we currently face. It is my belief that that will be the only path to bringing security and safety to our countries and the world.”

N. Bush: Address to World Summit 2020
- Tuesday, February 4, 2020
“I often think about how amazing the path of human development has been. How a relatively weak and disorganized species that faced threats to survival by the natural elements and by fierce predators has evolved into the dominant force on earth. Humans have a unique ability to record findings, findings that are passed down from generation to generation, with know-how always advancing. The sharing of these findings have led to remarkable medical, engineering, and scientific breakthroughs.”

“In 2016 in the U.S. Senate Dirksen Building, Mother Moon, together with 120 members of Congress, hosted by Senator Orrin Hatch, founded the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace, imbuing it with a powerful vision and total investment of heart to achieve peace, freedom, and prosperity throughout the world. A number of us have put forth some suggestions of issues that impact every person on earth, and that might be worthy concerns for this organization to consider during the coming decade.”

L. Sanchez: Address to World Summit 2020
- Tuesday, February 4, 2020
“We are the luckiest generation. We have experienced more freedom, leisure time, education, medicine, and travel than any people in history. Great ideas keep coming. The more we prosper, the more we can prosper. The more we invent, the more inventions become possible. Almost everything is subject to diminishing returns. But the world of ideas is not: The ever-increasing exchange of ideas causes the ever-increasing rate of innovation in the modern world. We will never exhaust our supply of ideas, discoveries, and inventions.”

G. Jonathan: Address to World Summit 2020
- Monday, February 3, 2020
“A peaceful family unit entrenched in strong bonds of kinship, ethics and a well-established tradition of honor will fight insecurity and terrorism better than any weapons. This is because if we pay more attention to the imperative of producing well-adjusted, rational human beings, it will dry up the human supply lines that feed the cells of terrorists.”

A. Nailatikau: Address to World Summit 2020
- Monday, February 3, 2020
“For a Pacific Islander from the Oceania region where our conflicts have more to do with our changing climate than with each other, why does peace in the Korean Peninsula or anywhere in the world matter to us? I will tell you now that we can only move forward together, we can only succeed and truly overcome all of our nation’s problems together.”

“The artificial division of Korea into North and South has been the cause of tension and conflict for so many years and, therefore, the time has come to work sincerely towards creating favorable conditions for the peaceful reunification of Korea, which is in the best interest and wellbeing of the people of the Korean Peninsula and is also in the larger interest of world peace.”
